Chapter 46: Chuo Shinkansen Plan

"Welcome, are you two coming together?"

"Hey, we have a companion who has arrived early, and it's ......"

Kirihara Soji and Kitamura Mingfu, who came together, just got off work, and rushed to the place agreed with Lin Xiuyi non-stop. Just as they were looking for Lin Xiuyi's traces in this yakiyaki torii, a familiar figure in the corner suddenly raised his hand to indicate his location to the two.

"I'm here, Kirihara-san, Kitamura-san!"

"Oh...... Our companions are over there, and we'll just go over there ourselves!"

Kirihara and Kitamura thanked the proprietress of the yaki gate, then carefully passed through the gap in the diner's seat, and then came to the place where Lin Shuichi was.

"Did you order?"

"Not yet! I'm here to take my place as soon as I get off work. The grilled chicken skewers here are said to be very popular, and I had to wait for this location!"

"I'm sorry, can I order food now?"

"Hey!"

"What do you need?"

"That...... Let's have a konpei burdock, then a special fried chicken, an eel thick egg grill, a grilled saury, three skewers of roasted chicken with green onions and chicken meatballs, and if you want to drink, please give us three bottles of beer first. ”

"Hey, please wait a minute, there are a lot of guests today, wait a minute, I'll bring you the side dishes first!"

The proprietress of the izakaya apologized a little to everyone, and then served towels and water to everyone. Lin Shuichi and Mr. Kitamura chatted casually, and after a while, the store sent fresh cheese with avocado, sake lees stuffed vegetables, and miso eggplant as a gift of appetizers, although each one was only a bite, but the taste was very low and good.

"This is beer, I'll deliver it as soon as the other dishes are ready, if you need anything, just call me at any time!"

……

Lin Xiu and the three of them took the beer from the store, and first raised their glasses and drank a glass. After putting down the wine glass, Lin Xiuyi said to the other two with some embarrassment:

"I'm so sorry to suddenly call you out for a drink with me! Actually, the reason I asked you two here today is because I have something I want to ask Kirihara-san and Kitamura-san for something. ”

"Is it work-related?"

After Kitamura put down his wine glass, he asked Lin Xiuyi with some curiosity.

"Hey, I'm actually investigating the case of the murder of Naobi Kogi, the general manager of Toshima Construction. In the past two days, I have suddenly encountered some problems, which are really not what I am good at, so I thought if I could ask you two to see if you two knew something about it. ”

"Oh...... I see, I wonder if there's anything we can do to help?"

"Kirihara-san, have you heard of the River Plate Fund?"

"Riverplate Fund? Could it be that the crisis-ridden construction of Toshima is being targeted by the people of the Vulture Fund?"

"Surely, you've heard of that name!"

"Hmm...... Not only had I heard of it, but when I was at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, I had a deal with the representative of the other party's Asian affairs, who was named Robert Taki and looked like a European. ”

"Wait a minute, did you say you've seen this Robert Taka?

But it wasn't a pleasant meeting, as the other side seemed to have their eyes on a troubled Japanese company, and then began to chase after each other by all means, like a ferocious vulture, eating its weak prey. At that time, I was speaking on behalf of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) to explain the government's attitude. Although that guy has always been happy, I'm afraid he already hates me in his heart!"

"I see!"

Lin Shuyi put down his glass thoughtfully, but his mind was constantly thinking about the scene when Robert Taki of the River Plate Foundation, Seiichi Mori of the Takeshita Works Store, and Naobi Kogiso, the managing director of Toshima Construction, met, and it could be seen that the meeting of these three people must have come for the crisis of Toshima Construction.

"Mr. Kitamura, I would like to ask if the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is really planning a project with a huge investment, as Mr. Kirihara mentioned last time."

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's question, Akio Kitamura hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then whispered with some vigilance in his eyes.

"Although at this time, it's not a big deal to tell you. But until the official announcement is made, I still hope you don't spread the word about it. ”

"Could it be that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is really going to make some big moves!"

Kirihara asked Akio Kitamura in surprise.

"Ah...... You guy, I just warned you and you forgot about it!"

When Kitamura saw Kirihara's reaction, he immediately blamed him with some dissatisfaction.

"Uh...... I'm really sorry, I was happy just now, so I'm just a little excited!"

"Alas...... The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is really, and the project has been in a storm all over the city before it has been announced, and even I, a marginal person in the Tourism Agency, know about it, so it's no wonder that even you have guessed it!"

"Mr. Kitamura, what kind of project is it, you're too mysterious!"

"It's nothing, it's just that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism plans to build a maglev Shinkansen connecting Tokyo to Osaka, tentatively designated as the Chuo Shinkansen plan, which will serve as the next generation of high-speed rail technology representing Japan. If I'm not mistaken, the entire budget for the entire project is about 10 trillion yen......"

"Ten...... Ten trillion, isn't that an exaggeration?"

"Hey, ten trillion is just the project cost of the entire maglev line, not including the cost of the vehicle and related costs!"

……

Hearing Mr. Kitamura suddenly mention such a huge investment project, Lin Xiuyi's heart suddenly felt as if he had caught something.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Kitamura, if the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism really decides to announce this plan, which one will the contractor choose?"

In this case, it is estimated that only the "five major construction companies" are qualified to participate in this project, and if it is said, Toshima Construction is actually better at the construction of such high-level rail transit projects. After all, they have contracted a large number of high-speed rail construction projects before! But in terms of technology, in fact, the technology of the five major construction companies is not much different. However, it has been a long time since China has invested in such a huge project. ”

"So once you win the bid, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the five major construction clubs to adapt their fate. Who wouldn't want to get a little more cake at a time like this?"
